Tech and Sustainability Urged for India's Marine Fisheries
Climate change is hurting India's fishing industry.
Rising sea temperatures and changing weather are the main problems.
A top scientist says we need to use technology like satellites and AI to help.
This can show fishermen the best places to fish.
Also, we must protect important places like coral reefs because they help protect against climate change.
The plan is to use science, new tech and get everyone involved to save the fishing industry.
Director of ICAR-CMFRI calls for tech and sustainability in marine fisheries.
Climate change threatens India's marine fisheries due to rising sea temperatures.
Utilizing technology such as AI and satellite monitoring is recommended.
Protection of coral reefs and mangroves is a priority.
An integrated approach with science and participation is essential.
